Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

T-bond sales actually help to finance the national debt, rather than increase it. The government sells these bonds to investors as a way to borrow money, with the promise of paying them back with interest in the future. This can help to bring in revenue and reduce the need for other forms of borrowing, such as through stimulus plans or bailouts. In contrast, macroeconomic stimulus plans, unemployment benefits, and corporate bailouts all involve spending money that the government may not have, which can increase the national debt.
